Yeah, the part # for the 1.5" sleeving is 2837K18 and the 1" is 2837K16. It's called Easy-Cut Polyester Expandable Mesh Sleeving. You can get it in 10' lengths. The 1.5" was on sale for $14.03 and the 1" was one sale for $9.18. I plan on using it for my heater hoses and a/c lines so I also got some chemical resistant PVC heat shrink tubing.

It looks great I'll have to remember those for my car.

Lookin' good Sam. That's the same sleeving I used on mine. You can take thinner to clean the green part numbers off the shrink clamps before heating them. If you wait until after, it is harder to get the ink off.

car is looking killer i think the sleeves look good for what you are doing..it looks 100 percent better than a plain black hose..keep up the great updates..

or 1000% better than that steel braded crap i see on some cars!


hey sam how did you like those locking header bolts? im looking for something for mine and it seems like its the usual "hardware store" ugly bolts, those or ive seen some that are split on the end that you screw in a bolt to tighten them up. I would really like some nice looking stainless bolts - dont really want to spend 50-60 bucks for header bolts

Rich,

Those are stage 8 header bolts and are guaranteed not to come loose. The quality is top notch. I think I gave around 40-50 for the set. It's good insurance not having headers leaking. Thanks for the comps. Your car is coming along great.

I got a nice supprise from the UPS guy yesterday from Southern Performance. My new Synister front drive system. Very, very nice product. Couldn't wait to put it on. Here are a few shots of the installed system.











I've read that other members had trouble with the service support from Synister in the past, but Southern Performance was most helpful in answereing any questions I had with the install.

Next up running power steering lines, a/c lines, heater lines, and installing the radiator and Mark VIII fan.

Oh Sam, I hate to , but that throttle body is kinda BLAH now - billet one?

[msgnfg]

Wow - unbelievable! I just found this post and read the whole thing tonight. It gives me hope for mine. Thanks for the boost and what a killer car!

Yeah, I know. I'm working on it. It never fails, once you restore or clean up one part you have to do the stuff next to it because it looks so bad and you didn't even know it.
